Soon going to be using my harpy for some pvp, have two possible set-ups at the moment:
4 t2 neutron blaster t2 or arbalest rocket launcher
t2 ab t2 warp scrambler t2 cap booster pith c-type shield booster (i think they are only 5 million or so)
2 t2 magstabs
2 em shield rigs
or
4 t2 ion blasters
t2 ab t2 warp scrambler medium canyon shield extender t2 invul field
2 t2 magstabs
2 em shield rigs
Not really sure which one to use, first does more damage but I'm not sure if it would be better to have a decent buffer tank as well as a decent (38 effective) passive recharge.
Thanks for any help |

Edited by: Arvald on 01/09/2008 11:28:38 neutrons are good only fit the launcher if you have space left over after everything else ab scram and shield booster are good dont need the cap booster because your not going to be tanking very much (your 250 dps is your tank) id use a web since your in a blaster boat t2 mag stabs are win if you have enough pwg use a hybrid rof and damage rig (squeeze as much dps out as possible)
if you do have pwg problems with this drop one t2 neuron for a t2 electron/ion |

Edited by: Cpt Branko on 01/09/2008 11:32:57 Edited by: Cpt Branko on 01/09/2008 11:32:07 I'd personally do this:
4x ion blaster II
1MN AB II MSE II (train up AWU, what can I say? ;) Web II Warp Scrambler II
2x MFS II
2x EM resist rigs
Active tanking is bound to run into two issues - namely, lack of effective HP and lack of capacitor to run it in a PvP fit.

this is also a good fit for if you ahve multiple ships in a gang (more tank less gank, gives you a few extra seconds to deliver dps if your primary) |

also in the same path as the op, and doing some research on the sisi but having a low signature radius to like 32 with low grade halo's wich dont cost that much nowdays, and after the nerf you can orbit in 400ms with ab in the harpy wich is good and can be hard to hit, so the extra resist against bigger signature radius, i would keep the small signature radius |

AFs might become playable after the patch butI would still say only use blasters for soloing cruisers, use rails for gang. A bit less DPS but insta...

Would it be worth swapping one of the shield rigs for a hybrid rof rig? It would put the dps to up to 301 with cn antimatter from up to 283 which seems pretty good, and it doesn't have too much of an impact on the tank, as em resistance only goes down 18%. Anyone other opinions? |

This would be worthwhile IF you could actually fit it together with a MSE. Maybe pith-boosted setups could do this. You should be wary about attacking anything which can throw EM at you however, if you do go down that road.

I'll be using it in high sec war decs, if that changes anything. Still not sure which to go for, at the moment preferring the active one as it can do a bit more damage, though it is more expensive... Any more help appreciated. |

id shoot for a micro cap booster to free up some fitting
the first one looks best imo more gank im not sold on the shield rigs cause part of being in an assault ship is its small sig and those rigs are basically painting your self |

Edited by: Felix Dzerzhinsky on 01/09/2008 21:48:28 so you want to fit a ship to that can solo T1 cruisers? For the price of multiple fully fitted cruisers?
the flaw in AFs is greater then the fact that they suck, its that they cost a lot to suck. That will not change.
And the nano-patch will take a long time, lots of things will be changed. It will not be deployed in its current state - for obvious reasons. |

Well, currently, with all the FW blobs it's very dangerous (read: practically suicidal) to fly a T1 cruiser for a pirate. I find myself using AFs (and agile ones at that) for solo roaming, because jumping in with a T1 cruiser, with all the interceptors, cruisers and nanoed shit and so on which gets used in FW is basically the equivalent of rolling a dice wether you live or not when you jump in the system.
Before you mention cheapness - well, I don't know, but I have a habit of T2 fitting cruisers, which makes them cost about 15M to lose. Not much, but isn't exactly free either.
So, smaller and faster is the order of the day, at least for a low-sec pirate solo roaming.

Most of my skills are concentrated around assault ships (small hybrids and nearly assault frig V) and I don't have the skills to fly anything bigger. I enjoy using it and is a bit more interesting than a basic cruiser, so please don't say "fly another ship". Also, are there any cheap (less than 10 million) implants that would be quite useful for a blaster harpy? |

Yes.
The 3% small hybrid turret damage implant is dirt cheap. I'm preety sure that the 3% rate of fire implant is a bit under 10 million too.
If you're willing to spend a hundred million on implants, halo implants are somewhere in the region - and you should explore the other cheap implants available..

I agree with a blaster harpy, although u may get better anti-interceptor ability with a sniping harpy, I fit Light neutron blasters, salvager (yeah I'm a carebear)
Gistii B-type Small Shield booster (requires less cap) 1mn Afterburner II (this won't increase ur signature radius which is the entire purpose off a harpy) Warp Disruptor II Cap Recharger II
Overdrive Injector II and a nano II
Off course the last time i tried that set up it took me half an hour to get hold of the modules and pay for them about 2x the cost off jita went off to see if i can catch something and hit a gate camp on the very first jump .... and lost it all
